Well, I guess that's all part of the 'engagement period', to find out what is/is not important to each other. If it meant something to my df, so, dh, whatever, I'd try to do it to make them happy. Unless a gift to him is like an x-box or something ridiculous, we always tried to make birthdays special in our family.

Quoting BoxxyBabee:

I sang him happy birthday, we went to see his parents out of town, and he said he had a good birthday. I didn't think a gift was necessary.

Quoting Arwyn724:

Why wouldn't you have recognized his birthday, even with something small? Breakfast in bed and a card isn't hard, do you not gift-exchange for a reason?

Quoting BoxxyBabee:

I didn't think a gift mattered but I was wrong.

Quoting indymom72:

if you didn't get him a gift on purpose why are you worried about making it up to him?
